Anesthesia morbidity and mortality experience among Massachusetts oral and maxillofacial surgeons

Edward M D'Eramo et al. J Mass Dent Soc. 2009 Summer.

Abstract

Anesthesia-related morbidity is a serious risk to oral and maxillofacial surgery patients receiving outpatient surgery. Unfortunately, there is little data to track the risks of outpatient anesthesia to offer as an appeasement for these concerns. The most recent and comprehensive review is the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS) anesthesia study published in 2003. In an insurance claims analysis, Deegan presented data that the mortality risk in the oral surgery office was 19 deaths in 14,206,923 anesthetics administered.
